Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Hopper (Montréal, QC) nel mese di lug 2021
Colloquio
Hopper got my resume through a contact I had, thinking I could fit the position.
first interview with a recruiter person who spent more time talking about the company than my background, yawning all the time at 10:00 AM.
He emailed me back for the next interview. The only info I had was "Make sure to use a computer as you’ll be required to screen-share during the coding segment."
Two day later I had the technical interview with a co-founder-head of core-platform and a Sr. SRE.
The co-founder said he was busy and will only be listening and closed his camera - never heard of him since.
The SRE was in the position for 3 months.
The interview was mainly 2 questions:
- how would you design a web scraper from ground
- a coding test on coderpad with a spoken description of the exercise. So badly explained I had to rephrase twice to ensure I got it right.
Beside that, I that, I thought I did OK...
4 Days later I had a one sentence email saying it was over.
I'm a 25 year experienced admin/sre/devops, k8s and Service mesh expert, and they had my resume for this kind of position.
They never asked me any question around that expertise.
Sometimes I feel some companies are hiring just for the sake of showing they exist. I just lost my time there.
Stop asking for SRE if you want developers or software architects.
provided two ranges like {1-3},{2-7}, answer :
- the total range if they overlap
- the two ranges in order if they don't
Note: I had to ask 3 times to finally get to the way I just explained it.
I got ghosted after the technical round of interviews. I couldn't reach anyone I got in contact with during the process and that seemed very unprofessional towards any candidate. I wouldn't consider applying there anytime soon in the future.
